  • David Fry leaves game with elbow inflammation
    David Fry was removed from Sunday’s game against the Blue Jays due to right elbow inflammation.

    Advice: The positive news here is that Fry’s early exit isn’t related to a possible head injury or concussion. The bad news is that he’s probably going to be sent for some further evaluation and imaging to determine the extent of the issue. The 28-year-old backstop has been an unexpected revelation this season for fantasy managers, so the hope here is that his exit was merely for precautionary reasons. He’s presumably day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Sunday, 12:09 pm

  • David Fry leaves game Sunday with possible injury
    David Fry made an early exit from Sunday’s game against the Blue Jays with a potential injury.

    Advice: MLB.com’s Henry Palattella adds that Fry was apparently struck in the head by a practice swing from Danny Jansen in the opening frame, so it’s highly likely he’s been lifted from the contest for precautinary reasons to undergo testing for a possible concussion. There should be an update on his status shortly. Rotoworld Sunday, 11:34 am

  • Out of Sunday's lineup
    Jeffers isn't in the Twins' lineup for Sunday's game against Oakland.

    Advice: Jeffers has alternated starts behind the plate with Christian Vazquez for most of June, and Sunday will simply mark Vazquez's turn to serve as Minnesota's catcher while batting ninth. Rotowire.com Sunday, 11:18 am
     
  • Cubs release catcher Yan Gomes
    Cubs released C Yan Gomes.

    Advice: Gomes went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week and will head to free agency in search of a new opportunity. The 36-year-old veteran backstop should be able to latch on somewhere as a backup catching option for the remainder of the year. Rotoworld Sunday, 11:05 am

  • Sitting vs. lefty
    Naylor is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against Toronto.

    Advice: Naylor will begin Sunday's game in the dugout with the Blue Jays sending southpaw Yusei Kikuchi to the mound. Naylor went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-3 win. David Fry will start behind home plate Sunday and bat fifth. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:30 am
     
  • Sitting again Sunday
    Kelly is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the White Sox.

    Advice: Kelly will sit for a second straight game after hitting a two-home run in the series opener Friday. Jake Rogers will once again start at catcher and bat ninth against White Sox right-hander Jonathan Cannon. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:31 am
     
  • Getting Sunday off
    Rortvedt is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Pirates, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Even with the Pirates sending right-hander Paul Skenes to the mound Sunday, the lefty-hitting Rortvedt will begin the game in the dugout after starting in the first two games of the series, going 4-for-8 with one home run, four RBI and two runs scored. Alex Jackson will start at catcher and bat ninth for the series finale. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:11 am
     
  • Keeps rolling Saturday
    Soderstrom went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Twins on Saturday.

    Advice: Soderstrom squared up on a Bailey Ober offering in the second and sent it 419 feet to center for the Athletics' second and final run of the afternoon. The rookie has slugged five of his first six big-league homers in the last 12 games, a stretch where he's boasting a stellar 1.117 OPS and has averaged exactly one RBI per contest.

  • Pushed off 40-man
    The Reds designated Wynns for assignment Sunday.

    Advice: Just two days after having his contract selected from Louisville, Wynns will once again lose his spot on the 40-man roster without appearing in a game for the Reds. With a .726 OPS in the minors, it's possible he receives some attention on the waiver wire, but his .597 career OPS in the majors makes it likely he gets sent outright to Louisville. Livan Soto was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:13 am
